Thanksgiving Day falls in the midst of the New Calendar Orthodox Nativity Fast. However, Metropolitan Tikhon and most good OCA Priests encourage us to feast, give thanks, and help the homeless and hungry on Thanksgiving.
Serbian Orthodox Christians (Old Calendar) also are encouraged to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The Old Calendar Nativity Fast begins the following day.
The extended Baseball series—with Curt Schilling—was better!
But there was not enough Curt Schilling in it. And Curt Schilling belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame! The real “baseball” problem with leftists is that they blocked him!

Thanksgiving Day MUST begin with prayer-—asking God to forgive our personal and national sins, and then thanksgiving for our blessings! Then we can feast together—without griping about our political differences and family squabbles, but in.a spirit of love and forgiveness.
Thanksgiving week often incudes special dinners for the homeless and the poor, as well as providing Thanksgiving food boxes for the poor in our communities. That is as it should be!

Sam... asks the global church to pray that the Lord will draw more Iranians to saving faith in Christ, and that God will protect believers who continue to make Jesus known to those around them.....
AMEN!
Many Christians are delivering food at this time of year to those in need in our country, too!

Stupid and misinformed Joe Wilson wants to go after most of the true Orthodox Churches in America, Ukraine, Russia, etc. etc. etc.
He wants to add to the persecution of the noble, long-suffering Metropolitan Onufry of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church!
Stupid Joe should realize that the Russian Orthodox Church was ministering in Alaska long before the US bought the place! Perhaps he should attend an OCA Divine Liturgy, and forget about being a 2025 version of Joe McCarthy!!!
